Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Well I've had:

Rott/Lab cross
Black Lab
German Shepard

We've always had yellow Labs. They're my favourite. I really love Standard Poodles as well.

Growing up, we had
cocker spaniel - don't really remember her, as I was very little.

3 St. Bernards - not at the same time, though! These were wonderful pets. Like Nana, they watched over me and my sisters. Very protective of us.

Irish Setter - We rescued Rusty. He immediately became my dog. He just was perfect. We lived in the country and he could run and play to his heart's content, and then come in and stay at the front door. (And he really listened and stayed at the front door!) I still miss him.

Blue Heelers - after I moved east, and my beloved Rusty had died, my parents got 2 Blue Heeler puppies. They were ok - but then they lost one of them, and to make up for that they got 2 additional ones...too many dogs! I never really warmed up to this breed at all.

For my family, we have a Brittany. He is a good dog, but would never have made it as a field dog or show dog. That didn't matter to us, we just wanted a dog that would be loyal and loving. I just wish he didn't have as much hair!

My neighbors have a standard poodle, and I didn't think I would like that breed, but she is a very smart dog, and you have to love the no shedding factor!

My parents, now empty nesters, have a Shetland sheepdog, that they absolutely spoil! Funny how she not only goes in the living room, but all over furniture, in bed etc....my poor Rusty was stuck at the front door! And oh my does she bark! They love her, but my sisters and I miss the Saints, and Rusty.

I had an All American Mutt when I was growing up. He was only around 35lbs. Now I have a Jack Russel/Beagle mix, who is AMAZING! She loves to tug and play then lay down and take a nice nap in your lap. She is 15 lbs and she and my son are best friends.
My dream dog is a Newfie, my aunt breeds and used to show them. I love them so much, but I just don't have room for one now...

Mutts. of course

I grew up with mutts - beagle mix and then a German shepard mix.

I would love to get a beagle or a beagle mix or a Havanese.

Boston Terriers Mine's asleep on my lap, making typing a lot more difficult...

Boxers

 

[Nynaeve]

I love looking at all the dog pictures!! The malamutes and Bernese mountain dogs are extra beautiful!

I'm adding a few to my previous post.
My daughter is obsessed with Boxers.
And I've always loved Huskies and Collies. I've heard that huskies are more difficult to train though. And the thought of all that fur keeps me from getting a Collie. Bernese were on my list of breeds that I liked, my my hubby does not like them much. They are so cute though!!

I never ever thought I would say this - but Ill never own another dog BUT a Pit Bull.

Not the nasty news stories you read, but well bred, genuine Pit Bull's were the "Golden Retreivers" for the early 20th century. Referred to as "Nanny Dogs" theyre amazing with children, as well.

I love mine. And with all the slack these poor dogs get - Im a total advocate for them now.

I completely agree!! Our dog is a 90 pound Sharpei/Pit mix. The Sharpei part of him drives us nuts!! Our vet told us next time we need to just get a pure bred pit bull.

My favorite breed is a Neapolitan Mastiff and a Dogue de Bordeaux. I have one of each and will always be owned by these breeds.

My kind of dogs!! CUTE! I love big dogs.

 

[glasslipper]

Dogs I have owned: Beagles
Mutts
Black lab
Rat terrier
Collies

My favorite breed would have to be the Collie

 

[Jennasis]

I've owned various mutts. The purebreds I've had were a dalmation, a greyhound and a cairn terrier. I've loved all of them! BUt if DH and I were to go out and get a dog tomorrow, it would probably be another greyhound!

 

[Boo'sMom]

normally I'd say basset hound, but after the trouble she's gotten into today ....

 

[mamamary]

I've owned a mutt and we've had two labs. I guess labs are my fav. but I love all dogs. If we didn't get a lab I'd have wanted a golden but DH was pulling for a great dane.

 

[enyaj40]

my favorite breed is the chow and i used to own one

currently, i have a beagle/lab/something viscious mix i rescued

also had a beagle, which i absolutely adored

 

[Sandy22]

I love terriers! Everything about them: their personality, their (typically) smaller size, their lack of shedding (most breeds). I think they are the most expressive and intelligent dogs.

Right now I have miniature schnauzers. Such big dog personalities packed into 15 pounds.

German Shepherd

I had one, and his name was Sampson
He died very early from Lymphoma, and I miss him everyday

 

[arminnie]

I've had 4 cocker spaniels. Love them.

I like all kinds of dogs but I like owning small dogs. We have 4 dogs 3 chihuahua's Shea, Cocoa, and Zoey and 1 mutt named Panda. If I would ever get a bigger breed I would probably look at Border Collies or Aussie's. I think they are both beautiful breeds.

I think mutts and rescued dogs in genreal are some of the best pets! And alot of these dogs/puppies in shelters or rescue groups are full blooded.
